Chapter Twenty - Remembering Who You Are

"What have you got to say sorry for?" Seto asked.

"Everything I put you guys through."

"You didn't put us through anything, We're your friends. We'll stay that way. You're beating up on yourself too much," Seto said.

"I still owe you guys an apology for almost killing you. And I'm sorry."

"It's ok. Now stop saying sorry and go back to bed. You need your sleep." Subaru sighed.

"Hmm..." Sakura was asleep against Seto's body.

"Well, more tired than she thought," Seto smirked.

"That's Sakura for you. Always saying sorry for something that's not her fault. Honestly..." Subaru sighed again.

"Maybe we should leave her down here wit Kaiba!" Joey said slyly.

"Wheeler..." Seto couldn't hide the blush now appearing on his face.

"Told ya he likes her," Joey said, "Give up the thirty bucks!"

"YOU HAD A BET ON US! WHO ELSE?!"

"Hey! I said they'd get together after a major event! I want that thirty!"

"YAMI!"

"Yes Kaiba?"

"Ugh! I'm taking her to her room!" Seto got up holding Sakura and took her to her room.

"Wow...he really was ticked off."

"Hey Subaru. Give me dat money!" Joey wrestled her to the ground.

"Hey! I get part of the money too!" Yami joined in the scuffle.

"Ow...Joey get off my hair!"

Two Days later...

Sakura sat up in bed. The hand mirror was put by her bed. Every now and than Sakura would pick up that mirror and look at herself trying to register the change. Finally she gave up on trying to get back to her old self. She threw the mirror across the room. It hit the wall and shattered. Once again tears ran down her face. She wiped them away, she only saw her blood.

'Why do I cry anymore? I know they're going to be tears of my own blood. Every time. Ever since I became that thing I...I...I'm not the person I used to be.' Sakura grabbed the black hankerchief and cleaned her hands and face.

"Sakura? Are you ok? I heard something break."

"Oh...I'm okay...really I am..." tears fell down her face again.

"Sakura! You're tears!"

"I know Mokuba. I supose Seto or Kari have explained to you why I cry tears of crimson."

"It doesn't bug me. Or anyone else here. You're still Sakura Kodasawa," Mokuba replied trying to cheer her up.

"Thanks." 'Gotta love the kid. He knows how to cheer a person up somewhat.'

"So, when you get better do you want to hang out a bit?" Mokuba asked.

"Maybe when I'm better...but for now I just need some time to myself okay kid?" Sakura asked trying to put on her best smile.

"Sure." Mokuba left humming a tune to himself.

"Why is this happening to me? Why?!" Why have I become so...so..." 'Cala? Caru? What's going on with me?'

'That, young one, I cannot answer. You must figure it out on your own.' Cala replied.

'Thanks a lot!' Sakura replied sarcastically and threw Cala and Caru out of the soul room with a burst of power.

'I hate when she gets like this!'

'I know Caru. She's just upset. She needs some time alone.'

Sakura's P.O.V

I had to get some fresh air. The room was getting stuffy. I sat up but wished I hadn't. Pain filled my body giving me a harsh reminder of what I became. My mind flashed back for a moment to what I did. I held my hands to my head and tried to shake the memory away. Realizing I couldn't I stood up on shaky legs and made my why to the bathroom. Each step I took caused a tear to roll down my face.

When I reached the bathroom I sat down the toilet and ran some hot water into the jacuzi. I started to undo the bandages covering my body letting the fresh blood drip down it. I didn't care anymore. I got into the jacuzi with some difficulty and let the water wash away the blood. I laid my head on the pillow I brought in the jacuzi and let sleep carry me off.

Seto's P.O.V

I walked into Sakura's room because Mokuba told me something was troubling her.

"Sakura?" I looked around, "You in here?" She wasn't anywhere to be found. The bathroom door was open so I walked in. I had left something there earlier and wanted to pick it up when I saw she was in the jacuzi asleep. The water was filling the tub up to the point it would overflow. I turned it off and saw her bandages had been removed.

"Sakura..." I gently shook her awake.

"Huh? What are you doing in here?" She asked covering herself up.

"I can't see anything. What's wrong?"

"THIS IS WRONG!" Sakura yelled showing me her hand.

"Sakura we..."

"Yeah, you guys were going to tell me. Well, looks like I found out on my own! All of these stupid changes and I can't even deal with them. I feel so weak!" Sakura began to cry. I could see as the crimson tears fell. "I don't want to be weak!"

"Sakura you're not weak. You're just scarred at the moment. Those changes happened so fast but didn't change you as a person. You're still the same girl I met and fell in love with." I held out my hand to her and she took it. I closed my eyes as she covered herself with a robe. I helped her put the bandages back on, fresh ones and helped her back to bed.

"Thanks for reminding me of that. I was lost for a - "

"Guys! Yugi's been hit by a bus!" Kari yelled running in.

"WHAT?!" Sakura said in shock. "How is he?" She asked.

"The doctors at the hospital say he'll be fine and we can come visit him. We just need to be quiet."

"Seto please?" Sakura asked.

"Fine. Kari could you help her get dressed?" I asked.

"Sure." Kari shoved me out of the room. After about half an hour Sakura came out leaning on Kari. She wore a dark red short sleeved top with a black hood. Loose fitting track pants that were black with a red stripe down the sides. Her hair hung full length.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yeah," Sakura nodded and tried to walk over to me but stumbled. I caught and let her lean against me.

After two weeks everyone had healed completely except for Sakura who still had the silver hair with blonde and black streaks and the eye of Ra burned into the back of her right hand. She eventually got used to it.

One night she came into my office. She sat down with a nervous smile.

"Yes?" I asked in a buisness like voice. I imeadiatly changed to a softer voice. "What would you like?"

"I...um...they found a new..."

"What is it?" I asked.

"They..." she took in a breath and spoke, "They found a new foster family for me. They know about us being together and don't think it's right I live with you. I really hate this since the foster family lives in America. I don't want to leave. Seto I don't!" Sakura moaned and squeezed some of the material of her red capris in her hands. She was really down about this but the information shocked me more.

"What? But..."

"I know. I don't want to leave."

"They can't take you away!!"

"You don't have a choice. Nor do I. I have to go and pack, I leave in a weak..." Sakura stood up, crimson tears threatend to fall, "I'll see you at dinner."

"Sakura!"

"I'm sorry." She ran out of the room.

"Oh no!" I moaned as the paper work in my hands fell to the floor,'I won't let her leave! I'll find a way to let her stay!'

"Seto!" Mokuba ran in with tears in his eyes, "Sakura's packing! She's leaving for good!"

"SETO! SETO! SHE'S-" Kari ran in.

"I know! She just came and told me. I'm going to find a way to keep her here. I...promise."

"Really?" Kari aske.d

"Really," I replied and picked up the paper work. I got up and walked to Sakura's room. She was packing her books and items into boxes. She didn't hear me come in. The boxes had tiny droplets of blood on them.

"Seto. What are you doing here?" Sakura asked looking up at me.

Sakura: Well...Subaru still hasn't chosen a weapon so she's-

Subaru: I've chosen the Ice Blaster!

Sakura: Took you long enough! Anyway, shoot him out starts next chapter.

Subaru: At least it's a gun!

Sakura: "Gritted teeth" NEXT CHAPTER!
